| Obverse description | Youthful head of Heracles in right profile, beardless, wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, with the open jaws of the beast framing the forehead and the pelt falling behind the neck. The facial features are rendered in the idealized Hellenistic style, with fine curling hair visible beneath the lion skin. The portrait occupies the full center of the flan with no legend, the high-relief modeling characteristic of late Alexandrine workshop production. |
